I’ve sure enjoyed having Trumbo in my AL-Only CI spot but I really need pitching and now with the Morales news maybe people will finally take the guy seriously as a trade piece. What AL SP’s would you target with Trumbo? The team with Morales has Morrow and I thought with his ugly era the owner might go for that… I’ve just asked anyway. What do you think of that or who would you target?

@3FingersBrown: Yeah, that is true. @Commish Cauda (formerly Mike): Eh @Steve: Swish @bogbert: I'd hold.

Grey, I’m last in ERA and WHIP with a staff of Gallardo, Marcum, Latos, Gio, Morrow, Bills, Jurrjens.
Drop any for Kuroda, Hammel, Stauffer, Cueto? I’m guessing no, but thought I’d ask for the wisdom of the mustache. Thanks.

@Steve: I'd go with Swish if I needed some pop, Torres for speed. Vlad doesn't walk. He's been solid with the stick but what's up with Bourjos not stealing? With him and Gardner, I should be consistently winning SB in my H2H league. Only guy getting steals on that team is the mighty Asdrubal!

Need an RF replacement in the ol’ H2H with Heyward hurt. Swish, Vlad and Torres the best available. Who ya like?

We count OBP as well as AVE…

@AL KOHOLIC: that's what I was thinking. He's looked good lately, hell, he had 11 Ks last time out in a loss. I can handle him getting 3 or 4, but 0 is friggin' pathetic. If it wasn't for the terrible outings from Marcum and Lester (at least no losses and one win) my K-rate would be awful.

Drop Bay for Michael Brantley in a H2H-Points league?

@Grey: Crankier than Scooter though. He doesn't bother saying hello to any viewers or complementing anyone's cannoli. I met him in a restaurant once, cool as hell. Makes me want to reread "The Bad Guys Won." Last night they were discussing Orwell's 1984. Tonight, Mad Magazine Spy vs Spy.

@Awesomus Maximus: Yeah, no kidding. @Donnie Baseball: No worries. @gmen: Hopefully they come around, btu I have my doubts with Alvarez. @sal: Leave him alone. @Wake Up: Yup

@Grey: is Phil Hughes worth the speculative add if I have Tue do spots to boot? I figure can't lose, unless be comes back and does good one start and bad the next so on, so forth. let him be a headache for someone else? prob still six weeks away anyway...

Just re-read my posts and it kind of sounds like I was being sarcastic, and thanking you for me having Reynolds and Hill.

Was thanking you for answering a prior question and then whining about my team.

Thanks Grey.

A nice 0 for 11 and counting for my combo of Reynolds and Hill.

I should have let one of my league mates “win” that race to pick up Fail Fail. You’d think owning him the entire 2010 season would have taught me a lesson, mais non.

@3FingersBrown: Mex is like a modern day Rizzuto. Makes up words and can't wait to leave the booth to go home. He's brilliant. @the grate one: Al Albur..etc is good for Ks, that's about it right now. Brown, Jennings, Lawrie, Duffy... @Howie: Kuroda

@Grey: Kuroda or Beachy the rest of the way (4×4 Roto, no K’s)?

Thanks.

grey, 2 questions:

since jun1 is approaching, who do you think the best prospects worth stashing are? ive got a couple bench spots…

lawrie? or jacob turner? jarrod parker? jordan lyles? etc etc

also, does al alberquerue start getting some later inning work @ some point? dude gets NO holds or anything

@Grey: Missed that Mex line. Dude never ceases to amaze me with his linguistic gymnastics. Love when he mispronounces Latin names (he called Chacin – Chakin last night) then scolds himself for his lousy Spanish.

Peep the groundskeeper that got trapped under the tarp in Denver!

Sonovabench! – Brantley with the slam and legs. Didn’t have Bernadina in the lineup either. One of those nights…

walden and A. Escobar for Andrus. Too much?

@SwaggerJackers: Ah...Oh, well. @Eddy: Gotcha...Yeah, I'd wait to hear on the injury. @3FingersBrown: Nice title suggestion. I'd make some of my entire fantasy teams humble. Wasn't raining in Minny, it was hailing giant snowballs. Too bad they didn't hit Morneau or Liriano. re: Smith -- Ha! Did you watch the Mets game when Mex was looking at Wright's swing and said he's pulling out his palonka? @Derrick: Howard
